Hello, All!

Can anyone check these spec-files for consistency?

Rxvt-Unicode:

--------------------------
Rxvt-unicode.

rxvt-unicode is a clone of the well known terminal emulator rxvt.
It's main features (many of them unique) over rxvt are:

     * Stores text in Unicode (either UCS-2 or UCS-4).
     * Uses locale-correct input, output and width: as long as your system 
supports the locale, rxvt-unicode will display correctly.
     * Daemon mode: one daemon can open multiple windows on multiple 
displays, which improves memory usage and startup time considerably.
     * Crash-free. At least I try, but rxvt-unicode certainly crashes much 
less often than rxvt and it's many clones, and reproducible bugs get fixed 
immediately.
     * Completely flicker-free.
     * Full combining character support (unlike xterm :).
     * Multiple fonts supported at the same time: No need to choose between 
nice japanese and ugly latin, or no japanese and nice latin characters :).
     * Supports Xft and core fonts in any combination.
     * Can easily be embedded into other applications.
     * All documentation accessible through manpages.
     * Locale-independent XIM support.
     * Many small improvements, such as improved and correct terminfo, 
improved secondary screen modes, italic and bold font support, tinting and 
shading.

--------------------------

--------------------------
Evilwm.
A minimalist window manager for the X Window System.

'Minimalist' here doesn't mean it's too bare to be usable - it just means 
it omits a lot of the stuff that make other window managers unusable. Here 
is a list of features:

     * No window decorations apart from a simple 1 pixel border.
     * No icons.
     * Good keyboard control, including repositioning and maximise toggles.
     * Solid window drags (compile time option - may be slow on old 
machines).
     * Snap-to-border support (command line option).
     * Virtual desktops (compile time option).
     * Small binary size (even with everything turned on).
